1. If your organization has multiple projects, identify the Project ID from the Project List section.
2. Run the following command in your terminal, and replace \<notebook name> with the name of the notebook you want to start:

```
./cldkctl notebook start <notebook name>
```

3. If your notebook is running in a different namespace, include the --namespace flag followed by the namespace name.
4. Wait for a few moments while the system initializes the notebook environment and allocates the required resources.
5. Once the process completes successfully, the terminal displays the message “✔ Notebook started”.
6. To verify the notebook’s current state, refer to the Notebook List section.
